Leonard Nimoy's son is to make a documentary about his late father to mark the 50th anniversary of Star Trek. The actor, who played Mr. Spock in the sci-fi series, passed away earlier this month (Mar15), aged 83, after a battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The star's son, Adam Nimoy, will pay tribute to his father in his film For the Love of Spock, and he has recruited Zachary Quinto, who played the same character in J.J. Abrams' movies based on the cult show.
He tells Variety.com, "It's a tribute to my dad and Spock. We have plenty to work from. My dad loved telling stories."
Star Trek turns 50 next year (16).

In-demand British actor Idris Elba is in talks to play the villain in the upcoming Star Trek 3 blockbuster. A day after it was confirmed he had replaced Jamie Foxx in star-studded thriller The Trap, Elba is reportedly close to signing on for the bad guy role in director Justin Lin's first Star Trek movie.
Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana and Anton Yelchin are all expected to reprise their roles in the sci-fi franchise when production begins in June (15).

"It's not my favourite place in the world. It's very manicured and artificial but on top of it, it's very restrictive; you can't chew gum... It's illegal to chew gum. If you spit gum on the street you will be caned." Actor Zachary Quinto is not a fan of Singapore following a recent visit.

Leonard Nimoy's grandchildren have written an emotional tribute to the man they called "Poppi" following his death last week (ends01Mar15).
The Star Trek icon, who played Spock in the sci-fi franchise, passed away aged 83 after a battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and his relatives have expressed their gratitude for the outpouring of support since his death. His grandchildren Morgan Pearson, 36, Alex Schwartz, 30, Dani Schwartz, 25, Maddy Nimoy, 24, Spencer Schwartz, 23, and Jonah Nimoy, 22, have now put together a special tribute to the actor for U.S. magazine People.
In the article, they write, "He wasn't a huge talker, but he always knew what to say and told us countless stories. He spoke the most about life as an actor before Spock than life in Hollywood. He told us how he didn't have a job that lasted longer than a week before Star Trek.
"It makes us feel proud that he was so beloved by his peers. There has been an overwhelming response in the past few days and we all couldn't be more thankful and honored. We will always be able to hear his voice in Star Trek episodes, interviews and on his albums. When we're missing our Poppi, we can go watch him online somewhere. That way he never really leaves us."
After Nimoy's death, tributes flooded in from stars including William Shatner, Tom Selleck, Zachary Quinto, who hailed the veteran performer as the father he never had.

Actor Zachary Quinto has written a touching article to commemorate Leonard Nimoy following his death on Friday (27Feb15).
The Star Trek icon, who played Spock in the sci-fi series, passed away aged 83 after a battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and Quinto has now paid tribute to the man for his "disarming humor" and "dignity and love". Quinto, who played a young Spock in J.J. Abrams' movies based on the cult show, bonded with Nimoy when he took over the role and began seeing the veteran actor as a father-figure.
He writes, "I lost my father at a very young age, and Leonard came to occupy a space in my life that was like a father figure. I had this person that I could look to with such respect. He was refined. And he cultivated a sense of dignity and respect for other people.
"When I publicly announced I was gay, Leonard's embrace was unconditional. I shared my relationships with him. We spoke of it often during that period in my life and afterwards. He was supportive and encouraging. He met my boyfriend, and we had dinner together.
"The first thing that I really took note of with Leonard was his sense of humour. He used it to disarm people. Those who had certain expectations were often surprised by how funny he was. Wise man that he was, he never took anything too seriously, yet he was a very serious man."

U.S. leader President Barack Obama has added his tribute to those of Leonard Nimoy's friends and peers after learning of the Star Trek icon's death. The actor lost his battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at his home in Bel Air, Los Angeles on Friday (27Feb15), aged 83, and stars and dignitaries have been hitting social media to offer their thoughts about Nimoy's passing.
They included his former Star Trek pals George Takei and William Shatner and Zachary Quinto, who played the young Mr. Spock in J.J. Abrams' films Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness.
And late on Friday, Obama offered his tribute, wrote, "Long before being nerdy was cool, there was Leonard Nimoy. Leonard was a lifelong lover of the arts and humanities, a supporter of the sciences, generous with his talent and his time. And of course, Leonard was Spock. Cool, logical, big-eared and level-headed, the center of Star Trek’s optimistic, inclusive vision of humanity’s future.
"I loved Spock. In 2007, I had the chance to meet Leonard in person. It was only logical to greet him with the Vulcan salute, the universal sign for 'Live long and prosper'. And after 83 years on this planet - and on his visits to many others - it’s clear Leonard Nimoy did just that. Michelle and I join his family, friends, and countless fans who miss him so dearly today."

William Shatner is leading tributes to his longtime Star Trek sidekick Leonard Nimoy following the news of his death on Friday (27Feb15). Shatner, who played Captain Kirk opposite Nimoy's Mr. Spock on TV and in movies for two decades, has released a statement, in which he reveals he loved the late actor, photographer and director "like a brother".
He adds, "We will all miss his humor, his talent, and his capacity to love."
Zachary Quinto, who played the younger Spock in J.J. Abrams Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness prequels, was one of many famous friends who posted tributes on Instagram and Facebook.
He wrote, "my heart is broken. i love you profoundly my dear friend. and i will miss you everyday. may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest", while Jeri Ryan, who portrayed Seven of Nine in the Star Trek: Voyager TV series, tweeted, "RIP, Mr. Nimoy. You really did live long and prosper, and we were all the richer for it."
And Nimoy's longtime Star Trek colleague George Takei has taken to Facebook with his thoughts, adding, "Today, the world lost a great man, and I lost a great friend. We return you now to the stars, Leonard. You taught us to 'Live Long And Prosper', and you indeed did, friend. I shall miss you in so many, many ways."
Seth MacFarlane, director Kevin Smith, Ben Stiller, Mia Farrow, Alyssa Milano, Roseanne Barr, Josh Gad and Boy George were also among the first celebrities to pay tribute to Nimoy on social media.
The beloved actor lost his battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at his home in Bel Air, Los Angeles on Friday morning. He was 83.

"I definitely want kids for sure. I gravitate towards the people in my life who have kids. I love fostering relationships with them and watching them discover the world and being a part of that. I definitely want that." Star Trek actor Zachary Quinto is eager to have children. He has been dating actor Miles McMillan since 2013.

Actor Zachary Quinto is convinced he may never take advantage of America's same-sex union laws because he is not a big fan of marriage "whether it's gay or straight." The openly gay star has been dating model Miles McMillan since 2013, but admits they may never exchange vows.
He tells The Hollywood Reporter, "There are benefits to the institution of marriage. I personally am not a huge fanatic of marriage, whether it's gay or straight. Commitment and relationships are a very individual thing, and I don't stand to tell other people what to do or who to do it with, but for me, love is defined by two people in an intimate and personal way, and superimposing an institution on that isn't necessarily for me, the most exciting idea."
However, the Star Trek actor insists he has warmed to the idea of walking down the aisle since same-sex unions started becoming legal in an increasing number of U.S. states, adding, "The fact that we've made such progress and marriage equality is very, very near and tangible and hopefully right around the corner, that frames it a little bit differently for me. It's something I have been an advocate for and a fighter for in the past eight years. I want to see that continue.
"And maybe there will come a day when it makes perfect sense for me personally. We'll see... I don't think either of us feel that we have to hurry up and do this."

Nicolas Cage has joined the cast of director Oliver Stone's controversial Edward Snowden movie. The National Treasure star joins Shailene Woodley, Melissa Leo, Zachary Quinto and Tom Wilkinson in the movie, which features Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the exiled U.S. whistleblower.
Cage will play a former U.S. intelligence official in the highly-anticipated international thriller.
Stone has already begun principal photography on Snowden in Germany.
It's not the first time Stone and Cage have worked together - the actor led the cast of the filmmaker's World Trade Center in 2006.
News of Cage's casting comes hours after documentarian Laura Poitras picked up her first Oscar for the documentary film Citizenfour, about Snowden's exile following his decision to open up about national security secrets.

Summary

Classically handsome yet surprisingly versatile, actor Zachary Quinto rose to prominence with intense portrayals in a pair of popular genre offerings. After honing his skills in theater productions, Quinto began his screen career on television with guest spots on popular shows like "CSI: Crime Scene Investigations" (CBS, 2000- ), "Six Feet Under" (HBO, 2001-05) and "24" (Fox, 2001-2010). He later exhibited his comedic chops as Tori Spelling's gay sidekick on the short-lived sitcom, "So NoTORIous" (VH1, 2006). Quinto's breakout role came when he emerged from the shadows as the mysterious serial killer Sylar on "Heroes" (NBC, 2006-2010) and quickly became a crucial component of the highly-rated sci-fi drama. Even as the mega-popularity of "Heroes" began to wane, the actor achieved even greater success with his spot-on portrayal of Mr. Spock in J.J. Abrams' feature film reboot of the classic sci-fi franchise "Star Trek" (2009). Coinciding with his public announcement that he was gay, Quinto produced and starred in the Wall Street drama "Margin Call" (2011), in addition to making a memorable recurring appearance as an angry apparition on the first season of "American Horror Story" (FX, 2011- ).

Notes

"I wish I knew not to try so hard. Part of my experience has been realizing that the combination of authenticity and perseverance goes much further than trying to give people what you think they want. If I had known that, I would have saved myself some heartache." – Quinto in Playboy magazine, May 2009

In October 2011, Quinto revealed he was gay. On his personal Web blog, the actor wrote: "...living a gay life without publicly acknowledging it – is simply not enough to make any significant contribution to the immense work that lies ahead on the road to complete equality. Our society needs to recognize the unstoppable momentum toward unequivocal civil equality for every gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered citizen of this country...I believe in the power of intention to change the landscape of our society – and it is my intention to live an authentic life of compassion and integrity and action."
